Linda and Bobby….Bob was a wonderful strong Christian man whose dedication to the Lord was so relevant and uplifting to me…He will be sorely missed not only by his church, but all those who knew him outside the 4 walls of the church. I am so sorry I will not be able to attend his funeral as me and Melissa will vacationing in Aruba, but know you are both in our thoughts and prayers in the days ahead. God Bless…Bill and Melissa Howard
